A Federation tug was a type of specialized Federation starship used exclusively for towing damaged or disabled vessels.
During the Dominion War they were utilized in the evacuation of disabled vessels from battle zones. The USS Fredrickson was one such starship to benefit from these utility vessels in 2374. (DS9: "A Time to Stand")
